IDon'tBelieveI'mUnlovable

By Bianca Patten

I don’t believe I’m unlovable But I’m not someone worth loving for a lifetime We would stay up late Reveling in the way we found each other Across galaxies and lifetimes we started like stars burning fiercely and no one knew we were done for until lightyears later. but did you ever feel the supernova? The everlasting love that still somehow lived on and simply just changed shape? or did your heart become a black hole that tore up all our memories? was it truly me you wanted or was it my constellation my rough outline and first impression that made you fall in love? did you truly want the galaxies I gifted you or were the stars the only thing you needed? you took the brightest parts of me and held me up on a pedestal in the universe only for the vast space you longed for to consume what used to be

Promising soulmates. Because every path to forgiveness would lead home.

I don’t believe I’m unlovable But i’m not someone worth loving for a lifetime. Now i stay up late reveling in the way we lost each other across galaxies and lifetimes forgotten soulmates. Because even paths to forgiveness have their dead ends
